Belgian industrial band Controversial has just dropped the visualizer for their song "Violence". The track appears on Controversial's most recent Cleopatra Records release, Second Genesis. The song is based on a documentary from the 1990s about human violence. As far as motivation is concerned, Controversial deals with the darker side of humanity. Violence is of course up there and we refer also to war as the culmination of violence. We do it from the position of a spectator outside of humanity.
Controversial is the name of a one-man musical project originated by Bart Coninckx. The first creations were made in 2001, in a home studio. Back then the project was named Pitch Black. Then it went quiet for a couple of years because of the creator's health issues. In 2014 things got better and Bart invested once more in a computer-based home studio. Technology sky-rocketed in a couple of years, which created means to produce a professional sound.
Bart comments: "There's aesthetic/sound inspirations like for instance using social commentary samples (like Ministry for instance). These are mainly represented by songs on social and political themes. There are also themes that evoke an emotional reaction, like anger, frustration and hate. Then there are "streams of consciousness" songs, where we don't really have a concrete theme, but we open ourselves up to what comes naturally while we mentally associate with certain feelings and themes. Lastly, since we are a "left-hand path" band, themes of that philosophy are to be found in our lyrics, like the importance of the ego and the emancipation of the "self"." Link
